BANKER BOXER: 'If You're Getting Paid The Same Number As A Brain Surgeon, Stop Crying'

Jefferies
Group managing director Sean George, who heads credit
derivatives at the firm, competed in his first Muay Thai
competition-- a physical combat sport that uses punches,
kicks, elbows and knee strikes on the other opponent,
Bloomberg TV reports.

After losing the fight, George, who was sporting swollen
eye, spoke with "Market Makers" anchor Stephanie
Ruhle about what people on Wall Street are feeling these days.

He told Ruhle that Wall Streeters aren't stressed, but they're
sad.

"They don't have any risk. There's nothing to be stressed
about," he said. That's probably why the senior trader finds his
risk in the ring.

George said these days you can get paid a little more than your
base salary, but that's better than the alternative — getting
fired.

"The business needs to realize that if you're getting paid the
same number as a brain surgeon, stop crying."

"There's a lot of spoiled, entitled people in this
business," he added.
